Configure the Deployed Product

Configuration is a process of copying the deployed libraries to run-time libraries and customizes the product for your site to bring it to an executable state. You can configure CA Technologies products that you have already acquired, installed, and deployed using CA CSM. You cannot use CA CSM to configure a product unless you have already used CA CSM to deploy the product.

You perform the following high-level tasks to configure your products using CA CSM:

  1. Select a configurable deployment on the Deployments tab to view details and products for that deployment.
  2. Select a product in the deployment and start the Configuration wizard to create a configuration. Complete each of the steps in the wizard. The wizard has multiple levels of detailed instructions and guides you through choosing configuration settings for your site. At any point, you can save your work and come back to it later. Configurations where you have partially completed the steps in the wizard are listed on the Configurations tab. The steps in the wizard include the following:
    1. Define a configuration name and select a system for the configuration.
    2. Select configuration functions and options.
    3. Define system preferences.
    4. Create target settings.
    5. Select and edit resources.
  3. Build the configuration. The last step of the Configuration wizard lets you build the configuration. If needed, you can edit the configuration and can build the configuration again. Building the configuration closes the wizard and creates a configuration with all your settings.
  4. (Optional) Validate the configuration. Validation verifies access to resources that are going to be used when you implement the configuration.
  5. Implement the configuration. You implement a configuration to make your deployed software fully functional. Implementation executes on the destination system, applying the variables, resources, and operations that are defined in the configuration.

    CA CSM configures the product.

After the configuration process completes, the product is ready for you to use.
